Dust exposure (via riding rings/horses) has always been a serious problem for me. It definitely worsens my asthma and greatly increases the frequency of exacerbations when I'm exposed. I wouldnt worry so much about PA, but the simple particulate matter being deposited in the lungs is not good...

oooohh havoc, right on. Parenthood is HARD. The sleep deprivation can send you into a CF tailspin. But if you're determined, have decent health and have a supportive partner, no reason why you cant. I would not advocate for a single parent situation though. Hard enough with a supportive...

Deb, I had the same results too. I eat scads of veggies, some fruit, and a lot of super lean meats like chicken, fish, turkey, and venison. No dairy (I drink a lot of almond milk), almost no sugar, and only a very small amount of straight carbos (maybe a piece of low-cal toast, or a few bites...

Does anyone know why some people are more prone to hemoptysis than others? It doesnt seem to be directly related to FEV. I've know some folks who had pretty high FEV, but were just prone to bleeding. Any ideas?
